Emma Claire 10 months old!

Emma Claire is 10 months old and has already taken her first steps! She took a few steps 2 weeks ago when we were in Ferriday fleeing from the Hurricane. Since then she has taken several steps everyday, but usually it's only 2 or 3 in a row before she falls into whoever she's walking to. She has taken up to 7 steps in row, but that's very rare. She says: mama, dada, dindin, night-night, izzy, diapee, & kiki. She is crawling all over the place and getting into EVERYTHING! She'll eat anything you put in front of her as well anything she finds on the floor, like ladybugs and leaves.  She LOVES he big sister and wants to do everything she does. She is such a happy baby!

Izzy is 2!

Izzy turned 2 on August 31. We had her birthday party a week before...good planning on my part since Hurricane Gustav decided to arrive on her birthday! She had a coloring party. It turned out just as I imagined it. When everyone left she said "Thank you Mommy, I loved my party!" It doesn't get any better than that. We moved Izzy to a "big girl bed" the day after her party and she LOVES it. She is so proud of her bed and wants to show everyone that comes over. She has started Mother's Day Out, 3 days a week, and is doing great. Every morning she wants to get in the car to go see her teachers. When we pull in the parking lot she starts unbuckling her seat belt and says "Bye mom", like she's a teenager or something. Her teachers told me Izzy could teach the class. I hope that means she's participating. She gets in the car after school and starts telling me everything all at once. She'll sing a bit of a song, then talk about the playground, then start naming kids in her class. It's really funny. I'm so glad we signed her up, she really needed to play with kids her age.
